Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
946, 721, 552, ?, 350, 301
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 431.
Given series: 946, 721, 552, ?, 350, 301
The series follows this pattern:
946 - 152 = 946 - 225 = 721
721 - 132 = 721 - 169 = 552
552 - 112 = 552 - 121 = 431
431 - 92 = 431 - 81 = 350
350 - 72 = 350 - 49 = 301
So, the missing term in the series is 431.
